Downtime

Hello faithful users,

If you haven’t noticed, we have been intermittently up and down since yesterday. I have been able to narrow down the issue to a specific IP Address which was sending hundreds of calls every second. This might be a proof of someone trying to DoS The Starport again, although nothing is certain. That IP has been permanently blocked from our servers. I will be investigating on the subject and sincerely hope this will not happen again.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
FF

EDIT: Another attack just happened. It is now almost certain someone is trying to attack The Starport. Therefore, we are expecting furhter downtimes until the issue can be resolved more permanently.

The attacks seem to have slowed down. If anybody wonders, here is a list of the attacking IPs.

219.93.175.67
60.28.196.*
222.231.8.174
62.85.54.110
91.121.102.64

Any further attack will be added to the list, although I’d prefer if that was the last of them. If anybody has any information pertaining to the attacker or the reason of those DoS, please PM me.

Thanks,
FF

I was pretty much expecting this. Nevertheless, it’s always good to know them, isn’t it?
